Paperless Flight Bag™ Class III
The Paperless Flight Bag™ Class III performance calculations are utilizing first principal
software from the aircraft manufacturer, which provides the pilot with very precise weight and
speed values based on actual runway conditions. Because the performance calculations are
done only minutes before take-off, based on existing runway & obstacles databases and
weather data; it gives the pilot secure information for gaining extra pay-load
or reducing the thrust or often both.
This means that airlines can use the PTB™ in their existing systems to gain additional cost
savings and at the same time utilize the online features to update and up- and download last minute
data to optimize all calculations. These precise calculations based on real-time data result in increased
safety, maximum aircraft load, reduced ground time, less administration and minimum use of fuel and
engine power.
In the calculations made on the use of PFB™, we have only been looking at the advantages that apply to all airlines,
even though we are able to show great individual savings by introducing the Paperless Flight Bag™. Many
airlines will be able to save further money by using the mobile device to crew check in; examinations
have shown that in some airlines the crews are credited 15-30 minutes working time for both check-in and -out.
